15 Best American Restaurants near Horseshoe Bay

“Had a lovely experience dining here with a large group on a Saturday night in August. The view from the dining room is incredible and expansive. Our waiter generously offered to take a photo of us outside before we ordered and was very patient with us making sure we got a good picture. I am biased but I think I placed the best order with the tomahawk pork chop. It was huge and I loved it. Great spot for a group dinner or a date night.“

“The Yacht Club is a great place for a romantic dinner. The hostess was amazing and moved us to a nicer section with a view when she learned that we were celebrating our anniversary. The food was delicious and the staff ensured that our dietary restrictions were accommodated. If we're in the area again, we would definitely go back.“

“My husband and I were celebrating our 23th Anniversary and landed on this gorgeous resort. We had some issues with our room and had to change rooms which the hotel was grateful to upgrade our room. However packing and unpacking is a chore. Well Jason, the manager at J’s restaurant was very helpful to help me move. I explained my situation to Jason and he was very sympathetic to our situation and invited us to dine at his restaurant J’s Restaurant. He also gave us complimentary tickets for Putt Putt golf. Then came to our room with a bottle of wine and a great cheese sausage and crackers board. The food was great. We both had the filet dinner and my husband made a comment to me stating “I don’t know how they get these steaks so tender”. I agree. Jason was a God send to us. He also came over to our dinner table checking on us and filled up our glass with wine. Jason is the example of how managers are to manage their restaurants. Jason needs to be recognized by the resort for his good deeds. He took our bad situation and turned it into a great special anniversary dinner. While dining at the restaurant he had his BEST server Natasha wait on us. She was a breath of sunshine. She is so pleasant and charming. She has this spirituality presence as a waitress. We have never had a waitress to serve us like Natasha. She has a great smile and treats you as your royalty. There’s not enough words that I can express on the services we received with Natasha. She needs to be recognized for her great service. I came back with a friend the next day and of course Natasha saw me and greeted me again with her pleasant smile and hugs. She again waited on us and what can I say again about her. She continues to impress me with her charm and warm wishes. We wish her the best luck as she pursues her next adventure. I highly recommend every who visits the resort to dine at J’s restaurant. You will never be disappointed.“

“Just had lunch at RBar and the food was fantastic!! Everything came out fresh, hot, and fast. The fried okra appetizer was a big hit. I got the Blazing Saddle Bowl which was full of flavor and delicious. My kids loved the chicken strips. We will definitely be back!“

“Looking at your menu and can’t wait to come try everything!“

“This is our go-to place for breakfast. Other places claim to have the “best chicken fried steak in Texas” but I have tried them all. THIS IS THE BEST TASTING CHICKEN FRIED STEAK ANYWHERE. PERIOD. The ladies here are great and the food is consistently good here. Keep up the good work guys!!!“

“Food and service were great! The Jalapeño hushpuppies were an awesome appetizer followed by soft shell crab work Dwayne's house sauce. Even though we were more than full couldn't resist carrot cake to end and it was wonderful.“

“Variety and presentation! 😊“

“Omg this place was SO cool! As a horror movie buff this was so incredible to see- we drove 2.5 hours from Waco after we saw a TikTok about this place. Our waitress was amazing and let me tell you…the food is outstanding. I plan to come back with my boyfriend and recommend this as a fun day trip when in the central Texas area!!“

“Just found this place on a whim had the best Greek salad and baked potato. I've ever had great people dog, friendly and great drinks.“

“Great little bar & restaurant on the water! Owner George was our server and we couldn't ask for better service. Recommend you check it out!!“

“Great food and outdoor view of the lake.“

“Our waiter Bryan was very attentive and professional. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset dinner this evening celebrating our dear friends birthday. He made sure we had everything we needed for a beautiful evening. Thank you so much!“

“I booked their event room for Thursday May 16th, for a surprise 70th Birthday Party for my wife. We pulled the "surprise" off, and had about 35 people in attendance. Leading up to the party, the staff was always friendly and very helpful to me and my Co-Host, who handled the decorations setup. We could not be happier with the food (open menu), drinks AND especially the SERVICE. Rosie did an amazing job, from beginning to end, keeping up with orders and food delivery, kept on top of drinks and individual needs and requests, and even orchestrated the "Happy Birthday" song. I was thoroughly pleased, and the cost turned out lower that I had anticipated, which was icing on the cake. I will certainly be recommending Julie's Cocina, a fabulous restaurant to others, for just great casual dining and especially for special events. Please extend my gratitude to the entire staff/family. Well Done! - Johnny Allen“

“This evening couldn’t have been better. Genesis gave us over the top great service. A gentleman also checked to see how things were. We had a little issue about one of the plates containing onions. Genesis, with the approval of the manager corrected it immediately . Just can’t give enough thumbs up.“
